Congressmen introduce Article of Impeachment against President Trump

Source: WCVB

Two U.S. Congressmen have introduced an Article of Impeachment against President Donald Trump for obstruction of justice. Reps. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) and Al Green (D-Texas) announced the article Wednesday afternoon.

Sherman said he believes Trump's conversations with and firing of former FBI Director James Comey constitute obstruction of justice.

"I am pleased that Congressman Al Green (D-TX) has joined me in filing Articles of Impeachment against Donald J. Trump," Sherman said in a release. "We now begin the effort to force the House Judiciary Committee to hold hearings on Obstruction of Justice and Russian interference in our election."

Being lead around by our tail and having to tolerate the daily crimes and trampling of our traditions and institutions is now to the breaking point.

They are never coming around. Congress should act like they don't matter, because what we're doing is right and just.

At least that's what I've heard from anonymous White House insiders.

I seem to recall that a member of congress had done this a few weeks ago and it was meamingless. Perhaps that wasn't in writing and just talk.

Now we need some legislation introduced that states the House and Senate will not consider any of Trumps signed legislation or EO's as law while he is under Criminal Investigation. A fake President should not be able to enact any changes or laws that a real President signed into law.
